Ferris women's golf team headed back to NCAA play

BIG RAPIDS - The tradition-rich Ferris State University women's golf team continues to get it done under third-year head coach Mike Mignano.

Blaize BaumgartnerFor the ninth straight year, the Bulldogs are going dancing as they have advanced to the NCAA Division II Women's Golf Super Regionals. Ferris will compete in Super Regional One (East Region) May 2-4 at the Rivercut Golf Course in Springfield, Mo. The announcement was made on Monday (April 26) by the NCAA Division II Women's Golf Committee which has Drury University as host of the event. Ferris has had some success in NCAA post-season competition - including a few runs deep into the national tournament after winning regional titles during the 2003-04 season and the 2006-07 season. Second-place finishes were earned in 2004-05, 2005-06, 2007-08, and
2008-09.

Ferris is a younger team this year in contrast to some of those more veteran squads that had success under former head coach Brad Bedortha. But, these young Bulldogs are playing solid golf and could be primed for a run if the shots fall their way against the best of the best in the region come early May.NCAA Division II Women's Golf Super Regional One (East Region):Rivercut Golf CourseSpringfield, Mo., Drury University (host)
